India is not capable of being an independent balancing force between Russia/China side and the US lead west. It would just create distrust between India and the other major countries as India is waffles. Eventually, Russia would not be willing to share technology with India becasue India can be perceived as pro-western as India can easily shared Russian military hardware info with the US. On the other hand, nothing would stop India from supplying American technology to Russia. Therefore, no major countries would trust India
Leave the Future and see the present where ur statement gets shattered.
India Makes Nuclear Deal with US
India Makes Nuclear Deal with France and Canada
India Makes Defence Pact with US and gets P8s, may be the Hornets
India Makes 10 Year Defence Pact with Russia, Gets over 200 Projects Running.
All these take place in the same year - Warm Relation on all sides and u still say ..
India is not capable of being an independent balancing force between Russia/China side and the US lead west.
Your statement regarding transfer of tech is really funny as there are Billions of Dollars on stake under 200 projects with Russia and Over $20 Billion Deals in consideration with US .
India giving tech to Russia .. wow heard it for the first time.
So what can India contribute to the 5th generation project? Its been ongoing for such a long time. But maybe India can ask to be part of the F-35 project, steal its technology and provide it to Russia. That would be India's contribution
India is not contributing to PAK FA, but to FGFA.
The Basic configuration that Russia want is bulit by Russia for Russia
But in case of India,ie the FGFA, The new Softwares addition of secon pilot Module and Avionics will be Indian.
Besides, Its only and only India which is a share holder in TWO gen 5 Fighter programs.
It learns from the first then uses its experiance to build a new plane on its own.
No western country is thinking abt anything above F35, anything indegenious.
Let's say you are the chief designer/engineer for the Pak-FA project, you have a team of engineers with thousands of years combined experience on Su-27/30, would you like a group of losers from india who used to work on the LCA project to screw your PAK-FA?
Trust me, they won't even let you tough the blueprint.
Blue Print?
Plz first understand what is meant by a "Joint Development"
Yes its true India will have least share in Tech development, but They have had no issues with ToTs as far as Russia is concerned which includes the BluePrints.
tell me what are those high tech weapons?
the 2 decades old aircraft carrier for which you got charged 2.3 billion?
The Carrier will be 70% New.
India is going to have Two Indegenious Carriers around the same Time as well.
Besides, Even China has got Varyag as the starting point.
